High Level Functionality

Stitcher

class Stitcher

High level image stitcher. It’s possible to use this class without being aware of the entire stitching pipeline. However, to be able to achieve higher stitching stability and quality of the final images at least being familiar with the theory is recommended (see Stitching Pipeline).

Stitcher::createDefault

Creates a stitcher with the default parameters.

C++: Stitcher Stitcher::createDefault(bool try_use_gpu=false)

Parameters:

• try_use_gpu – Flag indicating whether GPU should be used whenever it’s possible.

Returns:

Stitcher class instance.

Stitcher::estimateTransform

These functions try to match the given images and to estimate rotations of each camera.

Note

Use the functions only if you’re aware of the stitching pipeline, otherwise use Stitcher::stitch().

C++: Status Stitcher::estimateTransform(InputArray images)

C++: Status Stitcher::estimateTransform(InputArray images, const std::vector<std::vector<Rect>>& rois)

Parameters:

• images – Input images.
• rois – Region of interest rectangles.

Returns:

Status code.

Stitcher::composePanorama

These functions try to compose the given images (or images stored internally from the other function calls) into the final pano under the assumption that the image transformations were estimated before.

Note

Use the functions only if you’re aware of the stitching pipeline, otherwise use Stitcher::stitch().

C++: Status Stitcher::composePanorama(OutputArray pano)

C++: Status Stitcher::composePanorama(InputArray images, OutputArray pano)

Parameters:

• images – Input images.
• pano – Final pano.

Returns:

Status code.

Stitcher::stitch

These functions try to stitch the given images.

C++: Status Stitcher::stitch(InputArray images, OutputArray pano)

C++: Status Stitcher::stitch(InputArray images, const std::vector<std::vector<Rect>>& rois, OutputArray pano)

Parameters:

• images – Input images.
• rois – Region of interest rectangles.
• pano – Final pano.

Returns:

Status code.
